T0 aZZ whom itmag concem:

Be it known; that I',; ABRAHAM Mnnoon, Jr.,' a citizen of 'Mexieo,-and a resident of Cananea, Sonora, Mexico, have invented a new and Improved Carrying Case, of which the following is afull, clear,'- and exact description.

This invention has;relation to carrying cases andhas particularreference to a carrying ease for a flaskand drinking receptacles'.- p

The principal object of the present invention resides in the provision of a carrying case of, the character set forth which houses the flask and, drinking;.-reoeptacles whereby the ame are ready for-instantaneoususe when required 7 and "wl iereby theflask and drinking receptacles are protected against accidental breakage; a

Asa furtherwobje'ct the invention compreliends -a carrying-case wliiolralfords .a suitable means for transporting a container for liquid beverages and receptacles for; drinkingthe same and in -whi'c h .means is pr'o vided tor-holding the drinking ---receptaoles -in juxtaposition to'the neck of-tl1e==flask ;\v-l1en the neck and receptacles enclosingcmeansi are-opened. l p g p 7 As a still further object the inventi0n prpvides a stoppenfor a flask and carryingtcase which}- is provided with means iorattaching the same to the carrying; case-when withdrawn from the flask in 3 order to prevent loss or displacement thereof-.

The invention furthermore contemplates a carrying case* of *the charactei; set 4 forth which; is extremely simple in its construction, inexpensive to manufacture; and produce and which is higllily eificie'ntinits pur- Withthe above recited and other objects in view; the invention -re'sides in the novel construction set forth in the I. fol-lowing. specification, particularly poi-nted out inthe appended 1 claims and illustrated inf the accompanyin-g drawings','- it being understood that the right is reserved toembodiments other t'l'1anthose actually il lustrated herein tothe iul'el iextent indicated by th'e general meaning "of the. terms in which theecl aims are expressed.

the inventionand :illustratingQthe same. in open cond tioln of reference, the case includes a flask body housinghsection 10 which is preferably constructed'iot leather. or. any other suitablema- -teria=l andwhich conforms substantially to theshape of the body of the :fiask Atwhich it receives. I The uppeibend wall.;11-of. the

section 10. is provided with a .central opening 12 for receiving therethrough the neck B of the flask which:projectsv upwardly through the opening12. Thefwall :11 which rests upon the shoulders C of theflask constitutes a shelttor supporting. the glass tumblers or drinking rreceptacles, D. which Referring to the drawings by characters are arranged ontheopposite. sides, ofethe neck Bi The .neck is preterably. embraced by aninsulating oribufi'er band 13 of leather or any other suitable material which spaces the side .of the tumblers or. receptacles D from the neck preventing Acontacttherehetween and possiblebreakage thereot.

end with a snap fastening socket 22 which is desi ned to receive one of the snap fastening studs 18 of the side flap in order to con nect the stopper therewith when withdrawn from the flask neck.

In the modified form of the invention illustrated in Fig. 5 the housing section 10 is equipped with a rear flexible extension i l at its upper end having side flaps 15 and an upper closure flap 16. In this instance the side flaps 15 are provided with a rigid reinforced arcuate lining piece 15 which lies alongside of the tumblers D. In this form the upper flap 16 is provided with a reinforcing lining member 16 of rigid material which is designed to overlie the tumblers and neck E. In other respects the construction and use of the carrying case is identical with that of the preferred embodiment and the provision of the rigid lining strips 15 and 16 merely serve to more fully protect the tumblers and the flask neck against possible breakage. It will also be noted that in Figure 5 the lower end of the housing section 10 is open and is provided with a cover 10 which facilitates the introduction and removal of the body to the housing section.

I claim:
